This could potentially cause accidents. Another disadvantage is these are your low beams when your lights are on so instead of getting years and years of service from your bulbs you will be getting about 3 years out of your expensive halogen bulbs not to mention the pain in the rear of changing them more often and the possibility of driving around with a burned out headlight and not knowing it until the law pulls you over and hands you a ticket. These are just some observations from driving my 02 Passat for 7 years.

I only took my DRLs out because I bought HID's, but I agree. If you can't see my shiny one ton car in front of your face, you're just not looking.
